Aug 10, 2024 · "Singin' in the Rain" is not an original song. It was actually performed as early as 1928. Most of the songs in the movie are covers, making it a jukebox musical akin to Moulin Rouge!.
The complete title song and dance, Gene Kelly (also co-director with Stanley Donen and choreographer) as movie star Don Lockwood, tune by Nacio Herb Brown, lyrics by Arthur Freed, in the Best...

Derek Trucks is easily one of the biggest 6-string blues heroes we ever got the chance to hear. Starting at the age of 9, he quickly progressed enough to the point where he began performing professionally. By the time he was 13 years old, Derek already played alongside some of the legendary blues guitar heroes. And when he turned 20 years old in 19...
Just like Derek, Mr. Joe Bonamassa is another blues legend that showed great interest in music at a young age. In fact, he was so good that by the time he was 12 years old he not only had a nickname "Smokin' Joe" but already played paid gigs. Just imagine – he would finish all his homework and would then set entire venues on fire with his playing. ...
While we mostly remember Katy Perry for her big hits like "Firework" and "I Kissed a Girl," she actually began performing and recording music under her original name Katy Hudson when she was just a teenager. In fact, she showed great talent when she was only 15 years old, completing all the GED requirements and setting out to study music. Catching ...
You just can't seem to shake off Billie Eilish anywhere on the internet, can you? After all, she's the new young superstar. And while we're here mostly dedicated to rock and metal music, we've seen significant interest in her work among all the different kinds of music fans, even metal fans. Starting to write her music in her preteen years, Eilish ...
While just a few years ago Justin Bieber was a subject of every single joke on the internet, we gotta hand it to him – not everyone can become a superstar and a frequently performing artist in their early teens. He started out with his YouTube channel singing cover songs and was quickly discovered by Scooter Braun. The so-called "Bieber Fever" took...
Another mega pop star which caused controversy and divisions, Britney Spears was either an idol or the worst nightmare to the generation we know as millennials. If you grew up in the '90s and the early 2000s, we can only assume in which category you fall into. Be that as it may, Britney achieved stardom with her debut album "...Baby One More Time,"...
While we mostly remember her as an alternative rock singer, Alanis Morissette began her career as a talented young pop singer. Sure, she probably doesn't want us to remember it at this point, but these were some quality dance-pop records she released back in the early '90s when she was just a teenager. She was pretty much one of the biggest stars i...
Now we're going back to the old days, the early 1960s. Born in 1950, Stevie Wonder's life was rough from the very beginning. However, going blind shortly after his birth was not enough to stop him from becoming one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. And he was pretty busy with getting his musicianship in order as he signed with ...
The Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, began singing in churches when she was only 12 years old. It didn't take long for her to be recognized by talent hunters and she recorded her first material when she was in her early teens. The choice of her career debut single "Never Grow Old" was fitting as she kept the same spirit and energy up until h...
We could easily say that Jacob Collier is one of the most talented musicians we got the chance to hear. His approach to music is unlike anything we've ever heard, with some of his pieces even featuring smooth microtonal modulations without you ever noticing them. Calling him a genius would be an understatement. Born into a family of musicians, he s...

- It wasn't adapted from a Broadway musical. Many movie musicals of the 1930s, '40s and '50s were based on stage shows, but this wasn’t one of them. Rather, it was a new script, written just for the movie, featuring old songs written for previous movies.
- It was conceived by producer Arthur Freed as a means of showcasing songs he had written, but it wasn't (just) an ego trip. Freed was a successful lyricist in the 1920s and '30s, collaborating with composer Nacio Herb Brown on dozens of songs for MGM musicals.
- The one "original" song written specifically for the movie is actually a rip-off. As the film was about to commence shooting, directors Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly realized Donald O’Connor didn’t have a solo number.
- Debbie Reynolds had no dance experience before she made the movie. She pointed this out when she was asked to be in Singin’ in the Rain, but Kelly said he could teach her, just as he’d done with Frank Sinatra for Anchors Aweigh.
